A day in the life of Beacon, the therapy dog at U.S. Olympic gymnastics trials - ESPN
MINNEAPOLIS — It's just past 10 on Friday night and the Target Center, packed to near capacity an hour ago, falls quiet as one of USA Gymnastics' busiest volunteers makes his way toward an exit. Beacon, a 4-year-old golden retriever, is the organization's first therapy dog and its only part-time, four-legged staff member. He wears a credential, travels to important meets such as the Olympic trials and holds the title of USAG's «Goodest Boy.»
